no - def organic soil in that tiny container ain't gonna do it
in the past i've used whatever chem nutes i have laying around, dyna-gro or maxibloom iirc
might try using some of my fermented plant extracts this time around i think they are mostly plant available forms...

on another note;
i've been tinkering with distillation with a pal
making mash (just sugar water and yeast) and making ethanol to make black cannabis oil to fraction it out and make "the clear" and CBD distillates and terpenes....

:laughing: my boy is doing the same exact thing. even had a balla ass copper still custom made from some old time southern legend ! his extracts are sooo good ! same dude i got my flo from.

sea, those recipes are pretty cool. i will definently pass em on

it's a fractional distillation setup, but can be used to just do distillation also like brewing booze - we are making ethanol (moonshine) to use as solvent on cannabis (hemp in bulk) - once the ethanol extract is made (black cannabis oil) it is dewaxed and fractioned - that's the game plan

it takes a solvent made extract and separates it into it's parts (THC, terpenes, plant waxes, CBD)

Have you guys run that distillation setup enough to find out how cost effective it is?
I'm asking about the alcohol making aspect of it, can you make it at half the cost of retail or less? Or is it a quality and control thing, as in you would want to be able to do all aspects of making the solvent and further distill it?

if you are talking about making ethanol for use as a solvent then yes its super cheap and i'd say way way less than half the cost of purchasing it

yes can distill solvent 2x to get it more pure (higher proof)

its about quality control kinda for me, also just about starting off simple and to understand the equipment rather than jumping in head first and try to make "the clear" pure thc distillate from winterized slabs before having an understanding of the process
also need to be able to scale this process up.... way way up

well.... did some experimenting with distilling under a vacuum last night, was fun - made some ethanol from some shitty mash (like 8 %, half of what it should be) - planning on getting as much clear liquor of whatever proof we can, THEN re-distilling it to purify

main difference is the introduction of the vacuum. at full vac ethanols boiling point is 3 degrees C & water is 37; where as at regular atmospheric pressure water boils at 100 C (duh), and ethanol at 78 C - so with the vacuum we can distill alcohol from the mash without any heat

cleaning up plants in the big kiddie pools, about to drop a trellis net down on everything...

With the right set up you can fraction distillate and make the "clear" also...

got trellis nets hung over the big kiddie pools - still vegging

kiddie pools in tents got fed liquid w-8 (basically just sugar in different forms) and terpinator (potassium sulfate and who knows what else) - not sure if those will make a difference, but i figured mid-week-5 would be a decent time to start in with them. stacking nicely in there and starting to really stink

clones popping left and right - deep chunk, nightmare cookies, blue power, catpiss moontang

baby tomatoes and baby peppers popping daily as well

i even managed to get some clones put into itty bitty containers for the yogurt cup challenge

pic update coming soon

^ stardawg ix male about to pop, kind of uniquely shaped pollen sacks on this boy, extra pointy with a kind of elf-shoe curl at the tip of them... big fat sacks this boy is gonna blow hard it looks like

^ kiddie pool pumping it up in week 7
perhaps a lil bit behind where i expected it to be at week 7, going strong. buds seem slightly less dense than in the big kiddie pools (due to less kelp in the small pools perhaps?)

picture.php

^^ other kiddie poll, denser nugs in this pool, probably due to strain, catpiss moontang on left and taller white 99's on the right

picture.php

^^ kiddie pool tent lights just cranked on

no pics yet of the big kiddie pools, nothing really exciting to see - trellis net is dropped and plants are vegging up into it, going to top them one more time and veg another week or 2 before flip

oh yhea, here are my yogurt cup challenge entries:
